Death Valley.

The night was dark as ink, and the cold wind cut like a blade.

Luo Yan sat cross-legged, his faint breathing and heartbeat echoing in the silent night.

"I died, yet I didn't really die. Instead, I was reborn into the Douluo World as Yan, a member of the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall."

Lost in his thoughts, Luo Yan recalled memories, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

In his previous life, he was a coward, a man lost in love who poured everything into a manipulative woman who only took advantage of him. In the end, he perished alongside her in a tragic fate.

Having experienced death, Luo Yan felt transformed.

"Luckily, I didn't truly die. I survived in a new form."

Luo Yan examined his current body, noting the scars on his wrist, reminders from his past life and warnings for this one.

In this life, his body felt different. His strength seemed multiplied, as if endless power was waiting to be unlocked.

With memories of both lives, he knew exactly what kind of person Yan had been.

Yan was exceptionally talented, possessing a rare dual attribute of fire and earth with the Flame Lord as his martial soul. He was one of the Golden Generation in Spirit Hall, standing alongside Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

Although Yan had a bright future ahead, his obsession with Hu Liena turned him into a pitiful simp, leaving him to achieve nothing of note.

Hu Liena, however, betrayed Spirit Hall for Tang San, becoming a traitor.

Even worse, Yan repeatedly lost to Tang San.

Reflecting on all this, Luo Yan shook his head, smirking bitterly.

"I was reborn as another simp, is this a coincidence or fate?"

"Regardless, having another chance at life, I, Luo Yan, will never be a simp, nor will I let tragedy repeat itself!"

"This time, I'll live for myself!"

Luo Yan, using his memories, understood that he was not yet seventeen.

Currently, he was in Death Valley.

Death Valley belonged exclusively to Spirit Hall. Unlike other spirit beast regions, there were few high-level spirit beasts here, but the area was still terrifying for young spirit masters who came to train.

The beasts here often attacked in packs, forcing young spirit masters to survive by relying on their strength and will.

For these young spirit masters, each experience here was a test of life and death.

Every year, many young spirit masters from Spirit Hall lost their lives here, which earned the place its name, "Death Valley."

Yet, danger and opportunity coexist, and pressure brings out potential.

Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena all had spirit power reaching level 39. Under orders from Pope Bibi Dong, they had come to Death Valley to train and hopefully reach level 40 to obtain their fourth spirit rings.

The next All-Continent Spirit Master Elite Tournament was less than three years away.

As a reborn individual, Luo Yan knew Spirit Hall was determined to claim the championship in this tournament, as its Golden Generation boasted unparalleled talent.

Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena, known as Spirit Hall's "Three Heroes," were the cream of Spirit Hall's young talents and had high expectations placed upon them.

Pope Bibi Dong had even prepared three precious spirit bones as rewards for the tournament.

These spirit bones, nearly tailor-made, were as follows: a Focusing Wisdom Skull , a Wind Chasing Left Leg Bone, and an Immolation Flame Right Arm Bone for enhancing fire attribute attacks.

The most valuable of the three, the focusing widsom skull, was a 60,000-year-old treasure hunted by the former pope. It was intended for Bibi Dong's beloved student, Hu Liena.

The left leg bone was prepared for Xie Yue to boost his speed and power.

And the right arm bone, designed to enhance fire attribute attacks, was meant for Yan.

Absorbing a spirit bone strengthens a spirit master's physique, increases spirit power, and grants a unique skill. Spirit bones are highly sought treasures, but they only drop from spirit beasts under rare circumstances.

For this tournament, Bibi Dong's willingness to offer three spirit bones showed her faith in the Three Heroes of Spirit Hall.

However, as a reborn person, Luo Yan knew that things would not unfold as smoothly as Bibi Dong anticipated.

Tang San, with his twin spirits, would lead the Shrek Academy team and disrupt the tournament.

In the original story, Tang San used his poison-infused Eight Spider Lances to injure Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and others, leaving them poisoned and unable to fight.

Yan, unable to face six opponents alone, led to Spirit Hall's defeat.

In the end, all three spirit bones fell into the hands of the Shrek team.

But none of this had happened yet; there was still time to change things.

Luo Yan silently vowed, "This time, I will not let that runt succeed! Those spirit bones meant for me will not fall into others' hands!"
